- NBC NEEDS YOUR HELP: COMMUTER COUPLES?

> Diane, 
> I'm working on a story for NBC News about the upswing in percentage of
> "commuter couples" in America - where he or she flies/drives off to work in a
> different city.   I'm looking to profile one, NOT a military family, for a
> spot on Nightly News next week.  Prefer a couple with children, but that's not
> absolutely necessary.  We want to see how they make it work and how the
> arrangement affects their marriage.  We'd like to interview them on camera by
> Monday the 26th.  They can be anywhere in the country, we'll go to them.
>  
> Please ask any couples that can help - or any marriage educators on your list
that have such couples to suggest, along with their expertise - to give me a
call ASAP.
